Road Surface very poor

The road surface is very poor - the close and adjacent roads / junction viz. St Andrews Drive and The Greenway need urgent attention. We suffer from lorries turning for deliveries to the shops at Carlton Parade and high volume of traffic. Please move it up in your maintenance schedule as a matter of urgency as the roads are rapidly deteriorating along with the curbstones; I note a few months ago you resurfaced Gilroy Way...why oh why as the road surface was very good, indeed fantastic when compared with Willow Close, The Greenway and St Andrews Drive. Please explain how / why this had greater priority in your maintenance schedule given the low volume of traffic... truly poor prioritising!?

Bromley Council are aware of the issues at this location. This road has already been included in the Council's schedule of major highway maintenance works programme. In the interim the condition of the highway will continue to receive regular safety inspections and any necessary work undertaken accordingly, specific issues in the road should be reported with location details as new reports via https://fix.bromley.gov.uk for investigation.

State changed to: No further action

Usual bland response from Bromley Council; fob off somewhat. Please can the council advise when in their schedule of major highway maintenance sits i.e. Date, as it could be years away, meanwhile no explanation why Gilroy Way was resurfaced which frankly did not need any repair?

Schedules and priorities for any works will be determined at a forthcoming Highways Maintenance Project Board and cannot be given at this time.

No change and still no explanation how the Highways Maintenance Project Board determined Gilroy Way needed resurfacing, when clearly it did not and other roads, viz. area raised in question did?

But in fairness the council have responded in some detail which has at least explained how the council have arrived at the current position of no action. The council are keen for this to go through the complaints​ process, but given that this will achieve nothing as any roadworks have to pass a priority process, which despite the pitiful state of the road/ junction it is not deemed a priority. So only option is to either stop submitting this which of course suits the council, out of sight etc...or continue in order to keep it on the council's radar

The road will continue to receive regular inspections and any actionable defects identified will have remedial works raised. Please report specific areas of deterioration as a new report via: https://fix.bromley.gov.uk

As before, Bromley council not interested as not deemed a priority. Now some dangerous pot holes formed and between 15 & 16 Willow close, curb has fractured (near drain grating) withbroken part, runs into dip / well which fills up with water (probabaly caused the curb to disintegrate) with crack in road escalating, all becoming dangerous for pedestrians.
